pokenguyen Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Make sure you ask HP support to get the right card ID, because some whitelist laptops only allow their branded card. For example, HP 4530s only accept HP-branded AR9285 card, other Atheros 9285 card without HP branded are useless. Both 4322 and 9285 are good for Hackintosh. 4322 works oob, but 9285 needs a little injection kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
